As most of you know, our story goes back a few years...14 to be exact. We came to the realization that we have been together for almost half of our lives which is mind blowing, and so exciting to look back on how much we've accomplished together.

Despite growing up in the same hometown and going to the same schools, it took a little rental shop at Wachusett Mountain Ski Area to bring us together. Had Chelsea chosen to go to college in Santa Barbara, CA instead of UMass Amherst after high school, this story could have been very different - but we both spent our college years in Western MA before packing up to drive cross country to San Diego.

A few years of living and exploring West Coast life eventually led to a job opportunity in the U.S. Virgin Islands where we spent the most exciting, challenging and memorable years of our lives as captain and crew on a catamaran sailboat. We sailed, snorkeled, dove, drank rum and had some insanely fun times in the islands - but there were also challenges living and working in such close quarters. To our surprise, neither of us pushed the other overboard. We decided it was time to head back to the mainland to be closer to family. We moved back to our hometown into a tiny cabin, adopted our fuzzy little friend Zoe, and have now moved into Jack's childhood home.

Although it may feel like we are already married, we're so excited to officially tie the knot with our friends and family in beautiful Big Sur, a place that will always hold a special place in our hearts. Thank you all for coming on this adventure with us!
